Deputies said they arrested two people accused of kidnapping a woman from a home in Spartanburg after pistol-whipping her and two other women.

Spartanburg County deputies said they were called to a home on Anchor Street about 1:20 a.m. Tuesday after two of the victims said 34-year-old Sae Ellis assaulted them before leaving with the third victim.
